One of a set of simple easy to use guides for beginners to set up a Raspberry Pi computer.

This is probably the simplest guide I will be writing and explains how to change
the pi user's password on your Raspberry Pi from the default raspberry

1. Log into the Raspberry Pi with user pi and password raspberry and type
the followingpi@raspberrypi:~$ passwd
The passwd command allows you to change your password, you will be prompted
for your old password, then you new password twice. Once this is done then the next
time you log in you will need to use the new password.
I would use a random sequence of characters for your password as simple words can be
easily hacked - please see NOTE below
